The following items are being sold by Gary Ruleford zruleford@aol.com 1. WWI or II Theater Made Push Dagger somewhat made in the fashion of a Robbins Dudley push dagger. Handle is wood with leather patches over the blunt ends, the tang area, and formed at the base of the blade (presumably to protect the users fingers). It fits the hand best with two fingers above and below the blade. 4 ¾” blade appears to be the tip of an F/S knife, no pitting or sharpening. Scabbard is expertly made with some staining, but is very supple and no cracks. Heavy stitching. Flap completely covers the handle and is molded around it. A very unique piece. http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2034.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2035.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2036.JPG
